I’ve noticed that dry and flaky skin are present after a tummy tuck in that area of skin. It’s not itchy or irritated, just peeling and flaky. I’ve also noticed this in pictures of others who have had this procedure done . Just curious.
Answer: Dry and flaky skin after a tummy tuck This is very common. The skin is severely traumatized in this operation and gets very swollen and is under great tension. Peeling is a result of the skin healing….out with the old and in with the new. It will pass and moisturizer is your friend.
